ryan zimmerman did the very next batter, then tyler moore, michael morris. the five runs is all edwin jackson would need to pick up his season. allowing just one run, striking out six. the nationals beat the phillies 5-1. that means he finished the season with the best record in the national league and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. >> quite an accomplishment, i think obviously. winning the division and now we have done that and a chance to go do some stuff in the playoffs. but this is a great season. a great team, a great group of guys and accomplish a lot. but we have a lot more to accomplish, hopefully. >> these guys had a great year and i'm glad i was up here for a little bit of it. >> great outing. good win. don't have to make a five-hour plane trip. that's great. >> now the guys will be back out here tomorrow for a little workout. they get a few days off, which will be good. a few are banged up. they'll head out on the road for a sunday game either atlanta or st. louis. we should find that out on friday night. for now we're live at natio
